A fire that burnt through 32,415 hectares in the Tawonga Gap
east of Bright has been contained.

Mild conditions across Victoria's bushfire region have allowed
firefighters to continue preventive work in readiness for warmer
weather ahead.

Department of Sustainability and Environment spokesman Kevin
Monk said it was "relatively quiet" across the whole fire area this
morning and crews have taken advantage of the opportunity to build
more control lines and, where possible, perform back-burning.

Mount Buffalo, Mount Buller, the Upper Thomson and Dargo are
among the areas the DSE is focusing on, Mr Monk said.

"The weather's forecast to increase in temperature later on next
week, so that's why we're trying to get in where we can to burn
where we can," Mr Monk said.
